eggs hatch they become like larvae. After a few weeks each
larva spins a cocoon around itself and pupates. In a few
more weeks, adult workers emerge. It is their job to hunt

caretakers of the eggs, larvae, and pupae. Now the queens

in her lifetime. Many wi .....

In the adult skilled reader the eye does not move in a smooth pattern but actually jumps to certain focus points in a sentence the brain itself actually fills in the missing words. It does this by top down processing in which t .....

Then in the 1970's a number of writers recognized that the deep philosophical implications of quantum mechanics would be of considerable interest to the wider public, especially as some of the quantum mechanics concepts were of a mystical origin. In addition, technological advances enabled certain key ideas of the theory to be tested in the laboratory for the first time, amid considerable publicity.
Although this broader interest was largely stimulated by the philosophical imp .....

Muscular Dystrophy
.... X chromosome can mask a disease carrying X chromosome. In males, who only have one X chromosome, an X chromosome disease has to be expressed. This is why DMD usually only affects males, with rare exceptions. Men with DMD will pass on the defective gene to their daughters, making them carriers, but never to their sons. A carrier has a 50% chance of passing the gene for DMD to her daughter, who will also become a carrier. The son of a carrier also has a 50% chance of being affected (see Fig. 4). .....

Mass And Science
.... the difference, we need to separate these two "parameters." We could either leave the earth's gravitational field so that we would have no weight, or create an experimental situation where weight is not a factor. An easy way to do this is to use floating objects. Floating objects still have all their mass, and move almost friction-free in still water, but we don't notice their weight since the water supports (opposes) it. A small block of wood floating in water can be pushed back and forth very easily by h .....
